Community Partnerships
In the Department of Health and Sport Sciences, learning is not limited to classrooms and campus. An essential part of our mission for well-being is engaging actively with the community.
Opportunities to assist individuals with health challenges will give you real-world experience to build your skills—and your résumé.
When you work with local community groups, schools and health facilities, you have the benefit of invaluable hands-on learning, and community members benefit from your skills and expertise. These experiences will become an especially rewarding part of your education at Adelphi.
